The Houston Connection continued but also joined for the first time by extreme bobbling in Riachuelo, Brazil and area in a tear zone above Buenos Aires where
lowland rivers empty into the Atlantic. As the Pacific compresses, and the Atlantic widens, this puts stress on the centers of Plates as well as along fault lines on the
edges of plates. Thus, the extreme bobble at Wake island, Houston, Riachuelo, and the S Pole, none of which are along the edges of plates. This stress took
several days to settle down.
